Definitions

  • the invention relates generally to a coating for a medical device containing at least one anti-adhesion agent. More particularly, the invention is directed to a medical device coating comprising an anti-adhesion agent that prevents the adhesion between two surfaces of a medical device of which at least one surface has a coating disposed thereon. Additionally, this invention is directed to methods for making such a medical device coating.
  • a variety of medical conditions are commonly treated by introducing an insertable or implantable medical device in to the body.
  • the medical device is coated with a material, such as a polymer, which is able to release a biologically active agent.
  • a material such as a polymer
  • various types of drug-coated stents have been used for localized delivery of drugs to a body lumen. See, e.g., U.S. Patent No. 6,099,562 to Ding et al [0003] Exposure to a medical device which is implanted or inserted into the body of a patient can cause the body tissue to exhibit adverse physiological reactions.
  • the insertion or implantation of certain catheters or stents can lead to the formation of emboli or clots in blood vessels.
  • the implantation of urinary catheters can cause infections, particularly in the urinary tract.
  • Other adverse reactions to medical devices include cell proliferation which can lead to hyperplasia, occlusion of blood vessels, platelet aggregation, rejection of artificial organs, and calcification.
  • a medical device can be used not only for reducing such adverse effects, but also for direct administration of a biologically active material into a particular part of the body when a disease is localized to the particular part, such as, without limitation, a body lumen including a blood vessel, for the treatment of the disease.
  • Such direct administration may be more preferred than systemic administration.
  • Systemic administration requires larger amounts and/or different concentrations of the biologically active materials because of indirect delivery of such materials to the afflicted area. Also, systemic administration may cause side effects which may not be a problem when the biologically active material is locally administered.
  • Medical device coating formulations can comprise a polymeric coating such as a polymeric material with elastomeric properties. Elastomeric properties of the polymer coating are often desirable to minimize cracking and provide a more mobile matrix for diffusion release of the drug. Elastomeric coatings also exhibit desired biocompatibility and anti-thrombogenicity properties. However, complications can arise from a tacky polymeric coating including ones with elastomeric properties, as a result of adhesion of coated portions of the device. See e.g., U.S. Patent No. 5,741,331.
